Incredible infinity pools around the world

A look at the most spectacular and beautiful hotel, resort and villa infinity pools around the world.

The world's best infinity pools

One&Only Reethi Rah in the Maldives

The pool here extends out nearly 100 feet into a lagoon and features a 'bubble bed' where guests can relax and take in their tranquil surroundings

Sha Wellness Clinic, Alicante

Sha's inviting infinity pool is flanked by cabanas and has views of the surrounding landscape. SHA sits on a mountainside that is part of the Sierra Helada National Park and which overlooks the Mediterranean

Katikies Hotel, Santorini

From the water, guests here can take in exceptional views of the volcanic caldera, with further relaxation-inducing facilities including an indoor jacuzzi and sunbathing deck with open-air jacuzzi also available

Marina Bay Sands hotel, Singapore

This curved pool stands on a platform that stretches over the three towers of the 2,561-room hotel and offers exceptional views of the Singapore skyline

Six Senses Yao Noi, Thailand

On the island of Yao Noi, midway between Krabi and Phuket in Thailand, Six Senses Yao Noi offers its guests accommodation in 54 villas, each with its own pool. Best of all, however, is the communal infinity pool shown here, which makes the most of the resort's view of the jagged limestone pinnacles of Phang Nga Bay

Hotel Caruso, Italy

Set on a cliff-top 'balcony' above the Amalfi Coast, Italy's Caruso Hotel features a heated infinity pool set at the highest point above Ravello.

Tortuga, Mustique

A villa this time, rather than a hotel or resort, Tortuga in Mustique is a popular destination for sophisticated, and private, parties

Velassaru, Maldives

On a 21-acre coral island, Velassaru resort is home to 52 deluxe bungalows and 30 beach villas

Lefay Resort & Spa, Lake Garda

This infinity pool may lack the grandeur of some others, but it's an impressive inclusion to the list when you consider it's reserved for residents in the adjacent three-bedroom suite. Also featuring its own private, 55sq-metre spa, the Royal Pool and Spa Suite is in Lefay Resort & Spa in the Alto Granda National Park and features a host of other luxurious extras. It costs from €2,000 per night

Sarara, Kenya

Sarara camp in Kenya contains just six luxury tents, so guests here can enjoy the solitude and spectacular landscape with little disruption. Guests who participate in game drives may see elephants, buffalo, giraffes and warthogs, while those who choose to relax in the camp's infinity pool might spot impala, warthogs or elephants cooling off in the water hole below

Harbour House Villa, Guana Island

It's the view that makes the infinity pool at two-bedroom Harbour House Villa stand out. From here, swimmers can overlook both the Atlantic and the Caribbean

The Cambrian, Adelboden

Dramatically placed within the Swiss Alps, The Cambrian's heated infinity pool is surrounded by lush scenery in summer and snow-capped mountains in winter
